Janis Lyn Joplin was born at St. Mary's Hospital in the oil-refining town of Port Arthur, Texas, near the border with Louisiana. Her father was a cannery worker and her mother was a registrar for a business college. As an overweight teenager, she was a folk-music devotee (especially Odetta, Leadbelly and Bessie Smith). After graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School, she attended Lamar State College and the University of Texas, where she played auto-harp in Austin bars.
A fraternity voted her the Ugliest Man on Campus in 1963, and she spent two years traveling, performing and becoming drug-addicted. Back home in 1966, her friend Chet Helms suggested she become lead singer for Big Brother and the Holding Company, an established Haight-Ashbury band consisting of guitarists James Gurley and Sam Andrew, bassist Peter Albin and drummer Dave Getz). She got wide recognition through the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, highlights of which were released in Monterey Pop (1968), and with the band's landmark second album, "Cheap Thrills". She formed her "Kosmic Blues Band" the following year and achieved still further recognition as a solo performer at Woodstock in 1969, highlights released in Woodstock (1970).
In the spring of 1970, she sang with the "Full Tilt Boogie Band" and, on October 4 of that year, she was found dead in Hollywood's Landmark Motor Hotel (now known as Highland Gardens Hotel) from a heroin-alcohol overdose the previous day. Her ashes were scattered off the coast of California. Her biggest selling album was the posthumously released "Pearl", which contained her quintessential song: "Me & Bobby McGee".

Jimmy Hendrix est considéré comme l’un des musiciens les plus novateurs du XXe siècle, notamment en raison de son approche révolutionnaire de la guitare électrique et des techniques d’enregistrement en studio. Hendrix avait la particularité d’être un guitariste gaucher, mais de jouer sur une guitare de droitier, après avoir remonté ses cordes conformément à cette inversion. Improvisateur sortant des sentiers battus, il libéra son instrument de ses contraintes en utilisant les ressources nées de l’amplification et donna à la guitare électrique moderne ses lettres de noblesse. Son influence dépasse largement le cadre de la musique rock : la plupart des styles musicaux qui se développèrent dans les années 1970 reprirent certains éléments de sa musique ; Miles Davis, notamment, joua ainsi un jazz électrique très marqué par le guitariste (Wikipedia).
The Four Tops est un quartet américain dont le répertoire était principalement composé des styles doo-wop, jazz, musique soul, R&B, et disco. Ce groupe, originaire de Détroit, était composé à la base des membres Levi Stubbs (un cousin du chanteur Jackie Wilson), de Abdul « Duke » Fakir, Renaldo « Obie » Benson, et de Lawrence Payton. La formation originale a perduré plus de quarante ans (de 1953 à 1997), le premier changement de membre faisant suite au décès de Lawrence Payton le 20 juin 1997. Au fil des années suivantes, les membres quitteront successivement le groupe, puis seront par la suite remplacés par d'autres connaissances. (...) Renaldo « Obie » Benson est décédé le 1er juillet 2005 d'un cancer du poumon, et le chanteur Levi Stubbs est décédé le 17 octobre 2008 à l’âge de 72 ans à Détroit. Abdul « Duke » Fakir reste aujourd'hui le dernier membre de la formation originale du groupe. (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/fr/wiki/The_Four_Tops)

Vaya Con Dios est un groupe belge qui s'est constitué en 1986 autour de la chanteuse Dani Klein (Arbeid Adelt!, ex Ladies sing the blues,Purple Prose). On retrouve Dirk Schoufs (bassiste), et Willy Lambregt, (guitariste), Jean-Michel Gielen (guitariste), Marc De Meersman(batterie sur le premier album) remplacé ensuite par Philippe Allaert (batterie).
Leur premier titre « Just a friend of mine » aux consonances hispaniques séduit la Belgique mais aussi la France de telle sorte que 300 000 exemplaires de cette chanson se vendent. Peu après, Willy Lambregt quitte le groupe qui poursuit malgré tout sa carrière. En 1991, c'est au tour de Dirk Schoufs de quitter le groupe. Il s'en ira notamment travailler avec Isabelle Antena. Il décèdera en 1992.
En 1996, Dani Klein décide d'interrompre sa carrière musicale. Vaya Con Dios a alors vendu 7 millions d'albums et 3 millions de singles. Cependant, elle reviendra en 1999 avec un projet parallèle, Purple Prose, puis en 2004 avec un nouvel album de Vaya Con Dios. (Wikipedia).
